Numerical simulations of two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by the backward substitution projection method

The backward substitution method is a newly developed meshless method that has been used for the simulation of many problems in science and engineering with high accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of employing the backward substitution method for simulating two-dimensional incompressible flows. Two non-increment pressure correction projection methods are considered to decompose the original velocity and pressure coupling system into two boundary value problems of intermediate velocity and pressure. Then, two boundary value problems are solved by the backward substitution method in each time iteration step. Five numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy, computational efficiency and convergence of the method. Comparisons with some existing meshless methods verify the method's advantages and potential applications to engineering.
